W5# / R15# bellhousings same or different?

[SeptemberSquall]

Hi all,

I understand W and G bellhousings are generally interchangable between boxes.
I was told today that G and R bellhousings are interchangable by a 4WD wrecker.
(was enquiring specifically about G52 and R150F in #N130 Hilux/4Runner)

This sounds a bit Irish to me, does anyone know if an R and W box use the same bolt pattern to the bellhousing or not?

no, they dont

the r150f bellhousing and input shaft are about 50mm longer than the g52 and the gearbox end of the bellhousings are completely different. i,m in the process of doing this conversion at the moment. cheers bigwad
